Verbs with two forms in the simple present tense

Some verbs have two different noi (we) and loro (they) forms, as follows:

Cuocere → Cociamo/Cuociamo 

To cook → We cook

Muovere → Moviamo/Muoviamo 

To move → We move

These are conjugated as follows:

Cuocere
Io cuocio
Tu cuoci
Lui/lei cuoce
Noi cociamo/cuociamo
Voi cocete/cuocete
Loro cuociono
Muovere
Io muovo
Tu muovi
Lui/lei muove
Noi moviamo/muoviamo
